More on Video Games as Art

It's been a while since I've posted anything, but I aim to do so more often from now on. Anyway:

There's an article on the new york times website talking about the art of video games, I'm mentioning this because it puts forward something that I've been thinking about lately and that's video games enable you, the player, to explore/interact with a world instead of watching someone else explore which is what we do when watching a film. I think it makes it more of an emotional if you provide input to the experience. It's an obvious point but I don't think I really put this forward much on my video games page.

Here's a link to the article
